Services

Network & heritage

Built on decades. Tuned for today.

Founded in Minneapolis in 1989 with two trucks and a handshake promise, Northline is still family-owned — and still measured by whether your freight arrives when we said it would.

  1. 1989 Two trucks, one lane: Minneapolis ⇄ Fargo.
  2. 2004 St. Paul terminal opens; LTL network launched.
  3. 2016 Cross-border authority into Manitoba & Ontario.
  4. 2026 Northline Track: live visibility on every load.
★★★★★
“We moved 1,100 loads with Northline last year and I can count the late ones on one hand. When something does go sideways, they call us before we notice.”
